Well lets see how I can make myself sound interesting. I'm not a miracle worker so we'll just hope for the best.I'm a 65 year old wife and mother. My children are 42-40-38; two girls and my son is the middle child. My husband is a retired Navy Seal.We live in San Diego county in a little town of about 1500 people called Pine Valley;it's about 40 miles from downtown San Diego.I tryed to call myself Pine Valley Rita but my typeo made me Pine Vallet Rita---oh well sometimes I feel like a vallet.I have 2 beautiful granddaughters; the oldest is leaving for college in about 2 weeks---I miss her already.I worked for the Post Office for 30 years and retired 2 years ago.As for this battle with weight, that has been going on forever.At 20 i weighed 110 lbs. at 40 I weighed 145 lbs., at 60 I weighed 205 lbs. Last Sept. I got serious about losing; as of today I've lost 50 lbs. I would like to be at my goal by 2012---THAT"S THE PLAN!!!For fun I love to eat but I'm trying to change that.For exercise I play with my doggies---they're in my profile photo---they're both mixed breeds I got from the shelter about 2 years ago.I had to get in shape for our daily walk.My hope is to reach my goal and to maybe help some of you reach yours. STAY STRONG
